EaVOrite HYMNS.

The Christian Union lately invited its
readers to send in lists containing
what in their judgment were the best
100 hymns in the English language,
says the New Haven News. More
than $500 lists were received. The
first hymn upon the larger number
of lists was TOplady's ''ROck of Ages"
having received 1925 votes. The sec
ond in point of popularity was Lyte's
"Abide With Me-" the third, Wesley's
Jesus, Lover of My Soul" A hymn
which is greatly liked and widely sung,
my Faith Looks Up TO Thee, " occupied
only the sixty-ninth place on the list.
The list contains hymns from fifty-fve
different authors, and among these DR..
Watts and Charles Wesley stand at the
head, each contributing seven hymns.
Strangely enough, in the summary
given by the Christian Union we do not
find Newman's hymn, LEAD Kindly
Light" which seems to US the very fore
most.

He Likes the HerOdS.

There is no doubt that Grattan's
Herod is making a good deal of impress
sion on the breeders and that his pro-
duce is much sought after by all who
have confidence in the MOrgans. Herod
is called by his owner the king of the
Morgans, " and seems to fully justify the
claim. His produce is being sent to all

wish to state few facts and truths
to those who do or do not wish to pur-
chase.
First-There are very few that know
much, if anything. about the different
kinds, different grades, different dyes
and the manufacturing of sealSkinS into
garments. They claim to know it all,
when they cannot tell the difference in
seals of different ages, or when or where
caught, or by whom dyed. There is only
one truly safe way TO purchase the seal
garments, and that is, buy of first
hands, of house that has worldwide
reputation. Not of one that is known
only in this state-small, four hands,
who are not practical furriers, although
they may claim to be such.
Second-1f you are not judge of seal
skins then your safest plan is to buy at
headquarters. They will not miSrepre-
sent or sell you inferior goods; their
reputation is at stake; while these
small dealers have no good reputation.
Third-The firm that catch their own
seals, handle and grade them them
selves, and who receive orders from all
parts of the world, as H. LiebeS IL Co.,
of San Francisco, do, that surely should
be reliable. There is not one firm in
this city that goes to the sale in London
to purchase seals, but claim they do,
when they buy Of those who do. This
is true fact.
FOurth-ThiS cry of dou't buy of for
eign parties is the cry of selfishness, as
they have their travellers out, but when
any one comes here to sell better goods
at less prices than they, and exposes
their misrepresentation, then they cry
loud and long, don't buy of foreigners.
Now then, / claim and will go before
or anywhere and prove that the firm l
represent is the only fur manufacturing
firm in the world that have their own
vessels engaged in hunting and trading
for seals and other fine furs, and l alone
handle ten times more raw seals in the
summer than all the firms west of Chi
cago handle of any kinds of seals in
year. | have and can produce proofs of
that in this city if required. Do not be
preiudiced against a stranger by those
who cannot tell the truth when it affects
them, or they are ignorant of what they
are talking about; deny any of this who
dare. Now, If you desire to purchase
good seal garment of first hands, call at
ParlOr A, Hotel Ryan, Monday, Tues
day, Wednesday or Thursday. A. w.

How PHYLLIS Died.

Phyllis, the daughter of Phil Sheri-
dan. was one OF the best campaign
mares that ever entered the circuit. She
obtained a record of 2:1519. and she
trotted her last race at Montgomery,
Ala. Nov. IA, 1856. In March last she
was sold to Peter Curran for Prince
Smith, of Austria, and the price paid
was $4,000. She was quietly taken to
New York and put on an Outward-bOund
vessel. The groom in charge was not
told what she was. He knew her only
as big Fannie. The object was to get
her into Germany without exciting Sus-
picion and to start her in series of
races there. She was neglected by the
groom and died and was thrown into
the sea. The Germans watch closely
for breaks and rule out competitors that
indulge in them. 1t is thought that
Phyllis would have had a very success
fui career on the continent of Europe,
as she was fast, dead game and reliable.
She seldom left her feet and so would
have escaped the severe punishment
visited on the trotter that breaks.

The Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Minnesota
association of trotting and pacing horse
breeders will be held at Commodore
Kittson's Office, on Third street, st.
Paul, on Wednesday, Dec. IA, 1887. 1t
is very desirable that full attendance
should be had. Matters of unusual i'm
portance will come before the meeting
at that time. The suggestion has been
made that the distance for the young
sters be shortened, and this subject will
be brought up for consideration. 1t is
of course very desirable that every
member should be here to give his in
dividual views upon the matter. The
change should not be made unless it
clearly appears that majority of the
association desires to have it done.
Consequently as many as possible
should be here to give their opinions.

gether, Mr.. Smith, to his great surprise,
found that they were capable of trot-
ting together quite fast. To test the
matter of speed he hitched them up last
Tuesday, and, Notwithstanding the
weather was very unfavorable and the
track a half mile one only, they showed
a mile in 2:42, the last half in 1:17 and
the last quarter in 81 seconds. Dan has
never been handled, but has been kept
and driven by Mr.. Hoffman and his
family. The same may be said of
Dixie. except that he has been in Mr..
Smiths hands for two or three months.
The speed that these animals have
shown and the ease with which they
move together, united with the quality
of coming" all the time, leads to the
conclusion that as pole team they will
go together, under proper conditions, in
80 or better.

A Few Remarks.

The business men of st. Paul are not
any more noted for being fashionable
than for wearing good article and that
which is becoming. A st. Paul man
who moves in good society at home
need not feel ashamed of his appear
ance, even in business dress. No
better dressed men are seen any
where; and this is the result of re-
fined taste. Some one may ask:
"Where do they buy their hats. ties,
shirts, etc.?'' for these articles of mems
wear are really the finish" One of
the most popular houses in this line is
the Hotel Ryan hat and furnishing
store, next to the Robert street entrance
Mr.. Clancy, the manager, has built up
a large trade in fine goods almost eX
clusively, and in the high priced goods,
such as heavy silk underwear, he has
undoubtedly the lead of any hOnSe in
the Northwest. The stock now includes
silh-quilted smoking jackets, bath robes
and other goods not heretofore carried
by st. Paul houses.
